Who is God? What is the true character of Jesus Christ? What is grace, anyway?

Jena Lynne tackles these questions and more in "Reflections of Grace: Verses from a Blessed Believer," Her poetry ranges from deeply thought-provoking to sharp and funny, but each selection ultimately points in one direction: to the Throne of Grace, and to the One who sits upon it, slow to anger and abounding in love.

Whether you are a new believer in Christ or well into your Christian walk, "Reflections of Grace" will leave you awe-struck by the reality of God and the grace that He extends to you today....

The short stories and poems depict the author's views of life and how anyone can overcome anything that life brings your way and you can find the happiness that is within you to have.

Take a poetic journey with author Joe Nance, as he struggles to live life on life's terms. The journey begins with a descent into insanity that leads to the brink of suicide. At the last moment, God's intervention saves the author and brings him to a realization that there is hope in continuing to live. Anger, self-hatred, self-pity and regret are ever-present, but with God's help and interaction with other people, he begins the journey back to life.

If "Murder by Suicide" can help just one other person realize that hope is not lost, that life can change, then the writing of the tale was...

When miraculously healed from depression and physical disability I discovered that God is true, loving, merciful, forgiving, graceful, completely opposite of God I used to imagine. After accepting Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior I saw my life literally transformed from darkness, depression, sickness, disease into the life of light, joy, peace, healing.

The poems of "60 Signs for Doomsday" have a lyrical quality which should appeal to a general audience: doers of good, doers of evil, the righteous, Biblical scholars, the felonious, worshippers of satanic craft, boring housewives, high-and-mighty executives, fans of heavy metal music, and rage-filled healthcare professionals (just to name a few).
David Jonathan Newman's unique vision and mastery of language has afforded the literary world a rare treat indeed Although "60 Signs for Doomsday" is the third installment of poems from an irrepressible voice of apocalyptic thought and end-time...

In "Trapped in Oblivion: Between the Rule of Heaven and Hell," poet Richard D. Kydd Jr. describes exactly that human condition: Souls at once held in the hand and vision of God, while suffering the struggles of the damned and blind. And therein lies Kydd's gift; the ability to realistically portray both the endless human capacity for hope and love amid a life of sorrow and loss. His ability to reconcile this paradox and juxtapose hope and despair in the same poem is what makes his work so compelling.

As in his previous work, Kydd shows wide range. In "By the Pale Moonlight" he describes...

Meet Jennifer McMurtry. Come and witness a witness. When you first enter you find a woman who was overwhelmed with pain and loss. In the middle of the read, she begins to face her reality.

The present can birth forth a better tomorrow whilst listening to the all-knowing voice speaking to her heart. In her twenties she was blinded by false love, fake-friends and lots of parties. In her thirties she is sober and...

There is nothing in our lives that has appeared by chance. All the dynamics took place to develop us into all we've become.

The slightest change in any one of our choices would have strategically reset the course of our existence. Every choice or unforeseen tragedy took place for a reason. No matter what we happen to uncover along the way, it causes us to either become the better or worse for it. There is nothing about my life I would've ever changed. To have changed one iota, would have totally thrown me completely off course.

Our successes and failures in life worked to create the...

It's all about you
It's all about me
It's all about us
In the coconut tree

This book of poetry is about knowing that you are a treasure to God. No matter who you are, what you've done, what you look like or what you've gone through God loves you and wants to take you from the trash pile of this world and restore you. Everything that concerns you concerns Him. So many people are hurting, without hope and condemning themselves because they think that God wouldn't want to love them just because man doesn't love them. Trust me, there is no pile too big that He can't take you, love on you and clean you up. He is a restorer. I am a testimony of that. When man throws you...

Some nights were lonely, some days were cold.
High is the price of growing old."

When you think of Christmas, do you visualize reindeer, fresh white snow, dazzling lights, and superbly dressed Christmas trees? These things all make Christmas wonderful and have a part to play in some way. But the most important thing, the reason for the season, the one and only person whom it is all about, is the Lord and King, Jesus Christ. It is because of him, and him alone, that we celebrate Christmas. His Love, His Joy, His Peace surrounds us all the time, but most extraordinarily at Christmas time.
